Doesn't appear to show up in screen shots.
And the artifacts move all over the place, except those vertical lines you can see in KDE and KDM.

You can't really tell but on the Openbox picture, the corruption only happens in the area the terminal is. Ther other stuff is just dust on my screen. The area of corruption goes all the way across the screen, and is as tall as the console. If I move the console, the area moves with it.

If it makes any difference Xorg.0.log says it can't load DRI.
I have two screens, but they're just mirroring at the moment; I don't have Xinerma set up in xorg.conf yet, would that make a difference?
Xorg.conf:

Okay, I tried out a Fedora 11 Live CD, and it works. I haven't installed it, as I don't have any space to put it at the moment, but here is my Xorg.0.log from Fedora 11 for comparison to the non-working one:

It looks like it's using the radeon driver and vesa?
According to lsmod radeon and drm are loaded, and the LiveCD uses xf86-video-ati-6.12.2-14.fc11 (xorg-x11-drv-ati in yum)

I did try 6.12.2 on Gentoo, but I still had the same problem.
If I don't get this solved soon, I might just switch distros. It might just be a problem specific to Gentoo, or I have a crappy Xorg configuration or something.
